I used nautilus to browse the CD's. After finding the wanted item, I 
opened it and redhat-config-packages asked for a password. After that, 
it installed the programs without error.

I wanted lynx (CD1) and mc (CD3). Both installed through launching 
through the file manager.

The same symptom was encountered with put disc 1 in drive. (Bug filed). 
I only tried once, then shot through to the file manager method.
